I have some spiderling Avics, and I do OK with them. I've kept Avics on and off for the past few years. Sooner or later one of them ends up with a colorful fungus in the substrate, little dots, pick a color they grow. Clearly I'm not great at maintaining the proper ventilation/moisture balance. My...

I have a B.smithi sling who has been on "lock down" in its hide for going on 3 weeks, I'm assuming to molt.( she is probably about 4 months old 1/2") is there any point that I become worried???

I am looking for a seller who can ship tarantula to Indonesia. Websites or id please..... Thanks

So I went to local expo today and got M. balfouri 2i for 13€, 0.1 P. subfusca "lowland" (2.5") for 25€ and about 300 or probably more S. lateralis for 10€. I didn't think I'll get so much for little money I had.
